Hi Sean,

AFAIK OpenFlow topologies do not include controllers but dataplane devices and 
links between them. I guess this is because: 1) controllers do not normally 
forward traffic (they control the forwarding) so connection topology is not 
very relevant; and 2) I do not remember anything in the OpenFlow protocol 
itself to tell which port in the switch talks OpenFlow to the controller (this 
information is normally available through the switch management protocol or 
CLI).
